Mary Tentarelli Obituary

TENTARELLI MARY T. (nee FALA) Age 98, on October 16, 2023, of Drexel Hill, PA. Daughter of the late Camillo and Giovannina Fala. Predeceased by her loving husband Joseph A. Tentarelli. Cherished sister of the late Frances Scarpone; Lucy DiFruscio; Mae Fioretti; Mary Scrivani; and Thomas, Frank, Herman A., Rev. John, Camillo, and Albert Fala. Beloved "Aunt Mary" to many godchildren and approximately 160 nieces, nephews, grand nieces and nephews, and great-grand nieces and nephews, for whom she was a source of joy, entertainment and love and was particularly endeared to the children. Mary especially enjoyed sharing fine food and fun at her vacation home in Ocean City, NJ. She will also be dearly missed by many neighbors and friends and by the staffers and fellow residents at Brandywine Senior Living in East Norriton, PA, where she held court for the last nine years with her irrepressible energy, her tell-it-like-it-is directness and her unlicensed therapy sessions. Relatives and friends are invited to her Viewing Tuesday, October 24th 9:15 A.M. – 10:15 A.M. followed by her Funeral Mass 10:30 A.M., ALL IN CHURCH at St. Bernadette's Parish, 1035 Turner Ave., Drexel Hill, PA 19026. Interment SS. Peter and Paul Cemetery. Contributions in Mary's memory may be made to St. Bernadette's Parish at https://stbl.org/parish-giving/.
